    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "This rose produces sprays of single yellow and white roses in profusion thoughout the growing season. 'Yellow Butterfly' is very compact in growth habit and can easily fill any garden niche. This rose would be an excellent choice for mass planting or container growing where a bright accent is needed. This rose is a result of Ralph Moore's work in his quest of producing miniature roses."
